Review Summary

Miki (Hagit Dasberg) is a teen-aged musician who has lived with her parents in Israel for as long as she could stand to. Her mother is a highly neurotic Holocaust survivor who is trying to live out her dreams and disappointments through Miki. Her father is an essentially passive man who hasn't the backbone or the insight to provide her with a buffer from her mother. Eventually, she has had enough, and movs into a working-class apartment house as she attempts to make a go of it as a musician. ~ Clarke Fountain, Rovi
